Meet the Town & City Clerk - Veronica T. DeLandro

Born and raised in the Midwest, Veronica T. DeLandro moved to Connecticut over two decades ago to begin her career with ESPN. Her passion for mentoring and college access led her to the nonprofit sector, including leadership roles with the Governor’s Prevention Partnership (GPP) and College Summit (now Peer Forward), where she served as founding Executive Director of the Connecticut regional office, overseeing growth, fundraising, and program implementation. 

She later provided strategic leadership at the Aurora Women and Girls Foundation before founding VTD Consulting Group in 2020, offering leadership coaching and consulting to nonprofits across Connecticut. In 2018, she was appointed District Director for Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District by Congresswoman-elect, Jahana Hayes, leading constituent services and outreach across 41 municipalities.

As a proud New Britain resident, Veronica brings a deep personal commitment to the city, shaped by long-standing community involvement including serving on the Youth & Family Commission, Graduation Odyssey Task Force, as Clerk of Committees for the Common Council, and as past Board President of the YWCA in New Britain. Veronica holds a Master of Public Administration from the University of Connecticut, a B.A. in Mass Media Arts from Hampton University, and a Women’s Leadership Certificate from the Yale University School of Management.

Veronica is committed to close collaboration with the Mayor’s Office and the Common Council to ensure accurate records, properly noticed meetings, and clear documentation of legislative actions. She is focused on continuity, efficiency, and customer service, while strengthening internal processes to better serve both city leadership and the public.
